Eve no Jikan (2008)
イヴの時間

Eve no Jikan

in the not too distant future, androids had became a common household tool. 2 groups of humans were formed - 1 group that treated the androids as tools, another group that empathized them for not having a life to call their own. however, the androids were hiding a secret, which they too, had a life n limited freedom to do what they want. they were as attached to human as humans were towards them. a particular cafe in town gave everyone the freedom to be who they really are, without discrimination of either being human or androids.

the anime was short but the issue remained interesting throughout its airing. possibility was what make it a beautiful story, making the relationship between humans n android mysterious. androids were supposedly a common household tool, expectedly to be taken for granted for their usefulness to keep things in place, to behave expectantly under orders. but for these robots to have their very own thought on things, feeling emotional attached to their owners, making it either too eerie for some to accept or touching to the rest.
